- mikelyons 7y agoCollective ego is also prone to selfishness, an individual can take on a group identity and make being the member of a group part of the identity they selfishly defend. Unless I misunderstand what you're pointing to?
- Sniffnoy 7y agoI'm not sure what you mean by the word "selfishness", but you don't seem to be using it in the usual way. "Selfishness" usually refers to self-interested action that is or attempts to be rational, not irrational action motivated by identity. Perhaps you mean something like "egotism"?
